WELCOME TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER
Submitted to Shelton Blog by John Cox Mason County Progressive
Here is a list of companies, corporations, lobbyists, and individuals that seek to influence public policy, usually to their advantage, by contributing money to Tim Sheldon's various campaigns. It is only a partial listing. (The link to the entire Public Disclosure Commission [PDC] lists of declared contributors and amounts donated can be found at the bottom of this post.)
It must be said that Tim Sheldon is just one of the many politicians willing to sell themselves. Although all of this is "legal", it is nevertheless legalized bribery and a corruption of ethics. It is the beginning of the end of the empire.
We no longer have government by and for the people; it is now government as a tool for enhancing the bottom line of corporations. It is clear from this list that local government is no longer exempt from direct manipulations by international corporations or their surrogates. Welcome to the new world order.
The list is alphabetical. You would have to ask Tim about the relative degree of influence each donor has on him, but don't expect an honest answer.

Yikes!
ReplyDeleteWhat possible reason could there be for these out-of-county, out-of-state corporations to invest their dollars in a Mason County Commissioner???
I hope the Mason County voters have finally had enough of Tim Sheldon and that we are now ready to put Roslynne Reed to work FOR US as a full-time, show-up, roll-up your sleeves and get to work county commissioner.
I honestly do not believe our county can AFFORD another term for Commissioner/Senator Sheldon.
Ballots get mailed out Friday. Let's vote for right-thinking commissioners, and let's get our County back on track.
For less lawsuits against our county (and thereby against US taxpayers), please vote for DENNY HAMILTON, ROSLYNNE REED and ROSS GALLAGHER. This team of commissioners will work for us, not against us.
The list on this blog post is a compilation from Tim Sheldon's "various campaigns", both senate 2010 and his current commissioner campaign.
ReplyDeleteWell, even if it is a list of his "various" campaigns... the question remains: What possible interest can these out-of-county, out-of-state donors have in a Mason County Commissioner OR a Washington State Senator?
ReplyDeleteAnd what does Tim do for these non-constituents?
And how can he be representing Jane Doe Citizen when her donation is $25 and he gets $800 and $900 donations from corporate donors?
It appears that our Senator/Commissioner Tim Sheldon is a better friend to the multinationals than we ever suspected.
This explains much about his behavior!
